On Tuesday’s America’s Got Talent, semi-finalist group Angel City Chorale performed Bruce Springsteen’s 9/11 response song, “The Rising,” on the 17th anniversary of the devastating attacks. Afterwards, choir director Sue Fink spoke about the special performance, saying that it was a tribute to first responders on 9/11.“We were so much believing in what tonight is, is 9/11, and putting our message out that building community one song at a time. And our tribute to all the first responders that put their lives on the line for people they don't even know, regardless of race, belief, age," Fink said.The Los Angeles-based choir, which earned Olivia Munn’s Golden Buzzer back in July, prides itself on bringing together people from all walks of life, making this performance even more important.Fans on Twitter were certainly moved by the song:

Man, Angel City Choir with that performance of The Rising on 9/11 got me in the feels #AGT

The song was paired with a beautiful display of hand-held lights that included both the massive choir, and the entire audience waving their arms. So in other words, you could say those watching the the performance live were moved as well-- both figuratively and literally.
